Lost Sensor Contact (Interesting Observation)

[werribee_au]

I receive a lost sensor contact error only occasionally, just now I noticed both the error and new record both flashing.

The error was:
16/10/2010 04:53:52 : Lost sensor contact!!!
The New record was:
Lowest Pressure (sl) 930.9 hPa at 04:53 on 16 October 2010
And this had been recorded in the all time records. (Subsequently fixed)

Cumulus v1.9.1 (952)

I didn't get a cyclone come over , the console, graphs and data don't reflect this value.

The October log reports 1002.1 hpa at that time:
16/10/10,04:55,4.5,92,3.3,12.2,30.6,258,0.0,16.5,1002.1,207.3,17.9,99,15.8,1.6,4.5,0.0,0,0.00,0.00,0.7,0,0.0

Strange!

v1.9.1 (954)

The aberration presumably didn't last long enough to be recorded in the graphs or logs. Pressure is a good candidate for a setting like the 'max temp diff' check, although it doesn't seem to happen very often with pressure. Because it's part of the console, presumably, so not susceptible to interference.

Yesterday I had an all time record show up for Humidty at 97% but I have regularly had 100% humidity and I am not sure if I had a lost sensor problem but I do get them occasionally.
2010-10-17 13:08 97.000 "All time high humidity" 2010-10-17 12:18 96.000

Looking at the alltimelog shows the above to be correct but the attached sept10log shows multiple 99 & 100% humidity. I have the humidity set to show 100% when 99%.

Someting wong there

New types of all-time record only take effect from when you install the version of Cumulus that knows how to record them. If you want earlier events recorded, you'll have to enter them manually.

OK.....didn't realise it was a new addition
